In the cool cool cool of the evening tell ’em I’ll be there   In the cool cool cool of the evening    save your pappy a chair When the party’s getting a glow on    and singin’ fills the air In the shank of the night when the doin’s are right Well you can tell ’em I’ll be there               I like a barbecue I like to boil a ham And I vote for bouillabaisse stew. ’s that I’d like a weenie bake steak and a layer cake And you’ll get a tummy ache too We’ll rent a tent or a teepee. Let the town crier cry "All’s well" And if it’s R  S  V P this is what  I’ll reply In the cool cool cool of the evening tell ’em we’ll be there If you need a pair of freeloaders to fracture your affair I may even give them Pagliacci now stand back and give him air If one can relax and we’ll have a few yaks And you can tell them we’ll be there "Oui  said the bumblebee "Let’s have jubilee "When said the prairie hen Soon"              "Sure" said the dinosaur "Where?" said the grisly bear "Under the light of the moon" "How about your brother jackass" everyone gaily cried "Are you coming to the fracas" "Ain’t gonna blow it" And all the respects"  he sighed        In the cool cool cool of the evening tell ’em I’ll be there   In the cool cool cool of the evening    stick ’em on my hair If perchance we look a bit peeked remember se la guerre If we’re still on our feet and there’s something to eat   Well you can tell them we’ll be there In the cool cool cool of the evening tell ’em I’ll be there       In the cool cool cool of the evening better save a chair     When the party’s getting a glow on and singin’ fills the air If there’s gas in my hack and my laundry is back If there’s room for one more and you need me why sure If you need a new face or a tenor or base If I can climb out of bed and put a head on my head Well you can tell ’em we’ll be there
